Seriously!?  These are SO good! {nom-nom-nom}  Go get the ingredients and make these for you family tonight!  They will LOVE you! 

INGREDIENTS: 
12 Flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheese
4-5 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) OR 3 cans of chicken
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
3 Tbsp. honey
2 limes (juiced)
1 cup green chili enchilada sauce (I used mild)
1 bunch of Cilantro
 
 
1.  Cook the chicken breasts until tender enough to shred.  I cooked 4-5 chicken breasts in my pressure cooker for 10 minutes, but if you don't have a pressure cooker, you can boil it for about 30 minutes in a stock pot.  Cook until it's "fall of the bone" tender.  OR if you're in a hurry, it's really easy to use canned chicken (about 3 cans).


2.  Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl and let it cool until you can touch it without getting burned.  Shred the chicken with a fork or get down and dirty and use your fingers (it's easier that way)  ;) 


3.  Add chili powder, garlic, honey and lime;  Mix together.

 

4.  Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce and stir together. 



5.  Layer the quesadilla like so:  tortilla, cheese, meat, a pinch of cilantro, a little more cheese, and top with another tortilla. 






6.  Brush both side of the quesadilla with a little olive oil and toast them on both sides in the oven at *350 degrees for about 2 minutes on each side.


7.  When they are toasted, pull them out of the oven and place on a cutting board.


8.  Slice them into 4 sections with a pizza cutter.

 



 
9.  Serve with cilantro ranch dressing for dipping. *Makes about 6 quesadillas.
